The rapid decadence of The Nigerian health sector

If you are thinking of scrolling past this post DONT!!  read it through and comment about it. 

I was reading the daily publication of the New Telegraph paper for yesterday 24/07/18 when I came across a story titled "5,000 Nigerian doctors in South Africa - Envoy". According to the story and my understanding of it, there are 5,000 Nigerian doctors working in the South African health sector. This fact dear reader is what I want to link to The Nigerian health sector and the rot within.

How many professionl doctors in total do we have working in Nigeria? (I mean that are active). We are being led by an administration that has little or no regard for human life, not just any human life but the life of its citizens. 

 In an article I read in a paper (Bless my soul, I forgot which paper I read that article from) the writer was criticising the federal government for the joke which they call a national budget, the story compared the national budget off Nigeria to that of four (4) other African nations which consist of Egypt, South Africa, Ghana and (I can't remember the last nation) but let's forget about the names of the countries. The writer having compared Nigeria's national budget to that of these four countries, took it upon himself to break down the budgets. 

Amongst all five countries Nigeria had the highest budget but the shocking thing is that Nigeria was also the country with the lowest amount of money been forward into medical finance of citizens (what I mean is, the other countries, according to the break down of their budgets pushed thousands of dollars into the individual health purse of each citizen, but Nigeria which had the largest budget could hardly beat a meagre $200 (two hundred dollars) annually for individual health care. 

Dear reader, I wouldn't want to drag on and on with the various issues combating the Nigerian health sector so as not to bore you, but I would like to remind you of the continuous and careless strikes that are been emailed upon by various health and medical related associations within the country. If there be any reader reading this that is in one way or the other, capable of throwing more light on the issue please do.
